WEEKEND LISTENING
we've added two podcasts to our regular rotation, both of them focusing on Asian-Americans and their stories and both we highly recommend: Self Evident and Rock the Boat. they are thoughtful, thought-provoking and extremely needed in helping to bring unity, understanding, and voices to the forefront. the podcasts are both hosted by Asian-American women whom i've had contact with in the past. i inadvertently came upon the podcasts without realizing who they were by (i had the pleasure of meeting the host of Rock the Boat, Lucia Liu, a few years ago through a friend, and Self Evident's host, Cathy Erway, recommended a hypnotist to me!). we especially enjoyed the Rock the Boat episode with the Fung Bros and Self Evident's episode on hate going viral. subscribe and support!

WEEKEND READING: CASTE
reading this for a two-person book club i've been in since the start of the pandemic. we zoom weekly and talk about each book section or chapter to keep us accountable and on track. can't wait to dig into this one after listening to the author, Isabel Wilkerson on the NYT Opinion podcast Sway (the 14:40' -- wow).
